I'm not counting Dave Leip.  He used to be the only moderator when I first started posting here.  There were no "infraction points" or anything like that back then.  I'd just get an email message once in a while that said something like, "Please avoid drunken, emotional diatribes.  Thank you, Dave Leip" or "Please refrain from linking to pornographic websites.  Thank you, Dave Leip."

Most of the good ones have been said already, but here are some others:

Max Baucus/Conrad Burns, Mitch McConnell/Rand Paul, and Harry Reid/John Ensign (lol).

One's a centrist Republican, the other a liberal Dem. Not quite 180.

Interparty: Rubio/Nelson

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

No way Rubio and Nelson are the most bipolar current pair. Besides Kirk and Durbin there's also Grassley and Harkin.
